How does conveyancing in Goddington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Goddington approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Goddington typically purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Goddington or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Goddington I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Goddington for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
One month into buying a property in Goddington. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the title is "Leasehold". Does this impact the marketability of the house?
Goddington conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The crucial consideration here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it shouldn't impact the saleability significantly.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a material effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be specified in the lease which should be made available to your lawyer.
